I rescued a german shepherd mix when he was about 2 months old and he just turned 2 years! He's awesome!

Here are some of my dog's favorites if you're lost on what to Wishlist on Amazon:
Furminator GSD mixes don't need regular brushing, but this one works great for shedding season
Dremel for nail trimming GSD = black nails, a bit trickier to trim. I use this with lots of treats to put a nice round edge and take off a bit of length of my dog's nails. works good but get him accustomed to it slowly and with lots of treats. Pretty soon he won't mind.
*Zukes are great treats for training
Wow I kind of didn't realize I have so much shit for my dog. But he's family so...anyway. Also costco has great beds for $20ish (comparably $80+ from a petstore) They also carry Frontline, lots of treats (buscuits, duck breast jerkey - the best!) good food (Iams ProActive goes on sale once in a while, and they also carry Natures Domain salmon/sweet potato food that's really good).
If you buy so many tennis balls because your dog destroys them, consider getting these. They're a bit expensive, but my dog has never broken one and he goes through a tennis ball in like 10 minutes. Tennis balls are also really bad for dogs' teeth.
I could go on about how awesome my dog thinks they are, but I don't want to make a giant wall of text.
You need the Chuck-It Ultra balls. Much more durable and nothing to rip off.
On the subject, these balls are hands down the best play balls ever. They are nearly invincible, have a great throwing weight, and are easily seen in grass for recovery. A little pricey but they dont need to be replaced nearly as fast as your standard tennis ball. They also sell glow in the dark ones which are great at night.
You can get balls like these that don't wear down their teeth like the fibres in tennis balls. https://www.amazon.ca/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-Balls-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=chuck+it+ball+medium&qid=1572022079&sprefix=chuck+i&sr=8-3
My vet recommended them
I currently have two pitbulls, so I know your situation. I like this Nylabone and Chuck It! Ultra Balls if your dog likes to play fetch. They easily outlast tennis balls (even the ones made for dogs). A couple of Ultra Balls will last all summer for me (or winter), as long as I only let them use it when we are playing fetch.
chuck it!
Should be easier on teeth and wallet.
The only toy my two pits have never destroyed
Over a year and still going strong
Chuckit Ultraballs

Kong Solid Rubber Ball

Bounces like a super ball.
These orange and blue balls ( Chuck it, Ultra fetch balls )are the only ball Our Dude has been unable to destroy. He's had that one for a year. The most he has done is pop out the hole where the mould was injected, but now we can put treats in it.. so it is actually a plus. He'll chew on it for hours without putting so much as a mark into it. Plus the hole makes it whistles when I throw it, which helps him keep track of it if I throw it far.

As I'm sure we all know, our fur babies can break any tennis ball in half and destroy every kong product within days.
Those orange balls are amazing.
*edit: added link, spelling
I really like the Chuckit Ultra Balls. My dog has had two for about a year now and they show no wear and tear. The only time we have to replace them is if we lose one.
I found chuck it! balls to last the test of time. Haven't had one tear yet.
Bought it at superstore.
Most toys by kong are good too.
The solution to your tennis ball woes. They're EXPENSIVE but last a really long time. Don't lose any!
I have a problem with dog seatbelts. I bought one and immediately was displeased. I've only used it twice. Forgetting that all dog seatbelts fail actual safety tests and that needs to be improved first and foremost... the design of the one I have/had is such that you buckle the seatbelt through a loop on the back of the harness. This effectively forces the dog to have its back against the seat belt buckler or struggle to do otherwise. A carabiner would solve that issue, but then all the forces are concentrated in the carabiner. The strength of the clip (and carabiners are not designed to withstand sudden intense force) then effectively determines the safety of the animal. So why bother?
I'm sure other seatbelts/harnesses/whatever are out there that don't have that design flaw. Basically, when seatbelt shopping, pay attention to how the harness attaches to the car belt.
No problem!
Tiring out dogs can be a real pain. Thankfully I have 2 that play well together... One that has a never ending drive to retrieve, and one that loves to be chased. I throw the ball for the one that wants to be chased, and they run in big circles around me for 30 minutes non-stop, then we go inside and they pass out on the cold tile floor in the bathroom! It's fantastic. Haha.
The best advice I can give you is to use high value rewards. One of mine loves fetch just for the sake of fetch. The other wants a food reward. We had to initially get him interested by "trading" a ball for a small slice of hot dog. Once he understood that, we'd toss the ball 2-3 ft away, and he'd bring it back for more hot dog. Then we slowly moved to 10 ft, 20 ft, then full tosses. Once he gets the hang of it, you can phase the hot dog out (1 piece every other retrieve, then every third, then every fifth) until he's really just playing fetch because they like it.
My other big point of advice would be to get a Chuck It Launcher and a pack of Ultra Balls. The launcher makes it way easier to throw for a long time, as you don't have to bend over to pick the balls up, your hands don't get nasty, and the balls go farther. And the ultra balls are great because they are a near-indestructible rubber rather than the tennis ball that comes with the launcher (and they float!).
Yes Yes Ultraballs posted below, http://www.amazon.com/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-2-5-Inch-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA - these are my border collie's favorite tennis balls in the whole world. He will do anything for one of those orange and blue ones. My friend's whippet doesn't destroy these ones either. They also make some excellent kick balls that our border collies where having a blast with last night.
Actually the whole Chuckit lineup of rubber balls, which you can find here: http://www.chuckit.com/ are solid. They last forever and they float. There are various types, whistle balls, random bounce, etc.
The other company who makes great balls and rubber discs is WestPaw: http://www.westpawdesign.com/ generally I've found their stuff in smaller pet stores. My west paw discs have been going for years and work wonderful.
From what I've heard (and seen of the balls myself) that grit on a traditional tennis ball isn't the best thing for teeth anyway. So we just stick with the various chuckit rubber balls and the westpaw discs.
Here's my list of "favorites" for my GSDs:
Chuck-It Balls. By far, the most durable balls I've found. They've got some "give", so they seem to enjoy chewing/chasing them more. Remember, once the ball can fit between their back teeth, it's time to upgrade to the larger size.
The Shark Vacuum is a beast. We've tried any number of vacuums over the years, this one falls into the "Not Stupidly Expensive and Totally Worth It" category. Getting a decent Undercoat Rake goes hand-in-hand with a good vacuum. Rake once a week (three times during shedding season), brush 1-3 times a week, you'll give your back a break no matter what vacuum you buy.
In terms of training treats, we really like the Red Barn Chicken and Liver Rolls. After a while, we use them exclusively for scent training, but it's an excellent (and not expensive!) treat for any kind of training. Cube small, you'll get a ton of mileage out of one roll.
Herm Sprenger Dog Collars make great training collars. Not everyone likes the idea of a pinch/prong collar, so if it's not your thing, look elsewhere. However, if you are planning on training with pinch, these are the best, bar none. We use the small size and just add links as our dog grows - it's almost impossible to injure them with the smaller prongs and they tend to respond better. Please learn how to use a pinch before using one of these extensively - they shouldn't be used for restraint and you should probably wait until 8+ months (a number of people I know even wait till 14+ months for any obedience aside from the "necessities") before doing a ton of training anyway.
I'll stay away from food recommendations as it seems to be such a controversial topic. I will say that there are a ton of good sites out there to research - first figuring out whether you're feeding raw, tube, or kibble and then what to do once you decide.
Last - look for a dog club in your area. I personally like the German Shepherd Dog Club of America - Working Dog Association, but there are a number of places like this. I can tell you irrefutably that my dogs' favorite day of the week is training day. Nothing like getting out there with other GSD lovers and doing some tracking/obedience/protection work.
Hope this helps! Good luck :)

That's impressive! They are chuckit balls. My friend has a larger one for his 90lb old English bulldog whose a chewer, and he has never pierced one. My boston will play tug of war with it. They can take a lot of pressure.

THESE have outlasted ALL balls in our house
> $135 apiece
amazon sells them for $3.60 each:

Labrador, huh? Some of these would be a great option. (In addition to Amazon, most major pet supply stores carry them.) They're basically super durable rubber tennis balls.
We have has amazing luck with the "Chuck It" balls. They are literally the only toy Shamus has ever had that didn't get destroyed instantly. In fact, we've had the same one for about a year now. The have them in small, medium and large, I believe.

If you discover that she likes to catch or fetch balls, these ChuckIt balls are the best we've found. Our golden will chew a tennis ball into little bits in about 10 minutes but these things are nearly indestructible. They also float if Penny has a place to play in the water.
The jolly ball has been AMAZING!!! I have had this one for at least two years and it only just recently got a hole in it.
I'll also plug Chuck it. These balls are the absolute shit. I buy them l the time only because they get lost. I tried puncturing one with scissors, a knife, a wine opener, and pointy tweezers to make a treat dispenser and fully understood why they are next to indestructible.
They're other toys are very good quality and my dogs love them, but they can be chewed through. Those ones have to be supervised. The ultra balls, I don't have to worry about.
You came out losing my rent last time, I'm going 240 in the hole (sorry)
Cheaper thing
These are great balls that Staffies, Boxweilers and terriers haven't destroyed in the months that they've had them and are good workouts for their jaws, just be prepared for the noises 😃
Chuckit Ultra Ball-M https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000F4AVPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KGUzxbCZBN0WV
these ones. I think I'm going to start ordering them online now. A two pack is usually $11 in store.
This is our fave frisbee. It's soft so it doesn't hurt their teeth when they catch it, pretty durable especially compared to the cheap hard plastic ones, and Ozzy loves carrying it by the bone on top.
These balls are pretty indestructible. My dog, who is possibly addicted to balls, can go through a tennis ball in a few hours, but still has yet to even damage one of these.
These are great http://www.amazon.com/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-2-5-Inch-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA/
They float too.
High endurance Kong's (the black ones) I've found are really resilient. I also got a pair of these balls, which have stood up for a long time.
For anyone wondering, the ball is [Chuck it ultra] (http://www.amazon.com/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-2-5-Inch-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452481983&sr=8-1&keywords=chuck+it+ultra)
Best ball money can buy. Your dog will never destroy another one. My dog has literally destroyed tens of cricket balls. Don't even mention footballs, rugby balls and tennis balls. The only time he gets a new chuck it is if he loses one in the sea (too stubborn to lose one in the bushes).
Dogs love it coz it's squishy, my dog chews it like a chewing gum when he's bored, always pops right back up and bounces like new.
I love my pet+s! Here we go: We go through a lot of tennis balls. Atleast, these last!
Sounds pretty similar to my dog (bloodhound/lab mix). She likes Kongs alright and it takes quite a bit before they are destroyed, but her absolute favorite thing are chuck-it balls. The specific one she likes is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-2-5-Inch-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA
They are strong enough to hold up to a lot, but also have give to them that she will just zen out on biting down on it. It's like literally her stress ball. She does have some anxiety issues so I think that's part of why she likes them. We have to give her a new one every month or so, but totally worth it with how much she loves them.
Have you tried any games with her to keep her mentally engaged? We'll hide kibble around the house so she'll have to go around seeking it out and also have a puzzle toy. These are good in the winter months when she can't spend as much time outside.
Mine does the same. These chuckit balls are the only toys that she's not been able to destroy. I also found a chuckit ball that squeaks but I can't find a link to one. It looks the same as the linked ones but the colors are reversed.
Tip don't buy tennis balls, they get destroyed easily and soak up gross doggy drool instead buy this ball for the size of your dog.

It's a ChuckIt brand. I got it at the local PetCo, but you can find them on Amazon. It's the only thing she hasn't ever been able to chew through. She's had that same ball since she came to live with us (4 months old). Highly recommended!
Our GSD Pit mix tears through everything but keeps no interest in anything "fake" (nylabones, etc). So we constantly buy her knuckles, antlers, and yak milk bones. Her favorite toys are tennis balls though because she likes to bite down and get the bounce-back from the rubber but she destroys them by cracking them in half within a week. I found these the other day and I'm gonna test them out to see if they work (a reviewer showed a video of their GSD chewing them the same way and they hadn't destroyed them in over 6 months)
Man's best friend
Pup
CUTE.
Puppies LOVE to dart outside. How I trained Wall-E to wait was really easy. When I put him in the crate to go out, or if he was doing his crate training that day, I'd come in, not say a word, wouldn't look at him, didn't touch him. Then I'd count to an unspecified amount of seconds. Keeping it random is the KEY or else they will start to get it and no matter what you do or say they'll move when they know time is up. In those seconds, if he makes a noise or scratches at the crate, the timer starts over. The wait for her to do this will get shorter QUICK. Once Wall-E is calm, I start to unlock the gate. Same rule as before, if he makes a sound or goes for the door I stop moving. Once I have the door unlocked I start to move it open and say "wait". I look at him when I say this. If he darts, he gets pushed back in and the door closes. "Wait" again. Repeat until the door is completely open. Once he's patiently waiting I count again. If he darts, we start over. When I'm satisfied, I say "okay!" and he is allowed out. No treats needed, the release is the reward. This used to take close to 10 minutes now it takes however long I have to count, and he never darts out the door anymore!
Sorry for the wall of text...but if you have any other questions just let me know!
She is freaking adorable! Not sure if you've ever used these, but the rubber ChuckIt balls don't get as filthy and bounce great - might keep your walls and ceiling marginally cleaner. Soggy tennis balls gross me out.
The ChuckIt ones are also a little hard to kill - my BC mix likes to nibble the fuzz off of her regular tennis balls until she can rip whole segments of the "skin" off.
I have a lab that destroys normal toys in seconds. Things that last awhile are:
Kong toys
Those orange chuckit balls
Antlers
A basketball
These toys have all been put to good use. The basketball will pop but it's so hardy that it will last a good 6-8 months, and you can still play fetch with it. Antlers will last several months depending on size, just watch out for these things as they will be chewed to a sharp end so if you have other dogs only let them chew the antlers in a supervised setting.
Check out the local dollar store as well, if you get the fuzzy toys (not the plastic ones) it gives them a few minutes of fun. Sometimes they even last a few days.
My rescue terrier is a nervous chewer and is super destructive with toys, but we can't give him chews like bully sticks because he's on a restricted diet and he can't have bones because he has broken teeth (he hit the jackpot of bad luck). We've found that the only toy he hasn't been able to chew through is his Chuck-It ball - When we're not using it for fetch he'll often just chew on it like a bone; he's had that thing since day 1 and 5 months later hasn't even broken the slightest piece off.
Aside from that, puzzle games will help with the anxiety. Besides Kongs, you can try something like this ball which dispenses kibble or treats as the dog rolls it around.
